The Department of Public Works (DPW) continues work on the Brook Street & Benvenue Street Intersection Improvement Project.  The project will reconfigure the Brook Street, Benvenue Street and Radcliffe Road intersection.  Removal of the traffic island, relocating utility pole and storm drainage improvements are almost completed.  Work over the next few weeks will include completion of storm drainage improvements, pavement milling and preliminary work on sidewalks and curbing.

Please note road detours will continue to be in place to accomplish the work in the intersection area.  Detours and detour signage will be setup for the intersection and surrounding area, with limited access through the intersection area.  Police officers and DPW staff will be on site to assist with detours.

Work will take place Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Police details will be on-site during construction to minimize impacts to traffic, parking, and other roadway functions.  The work is scheduled to be completed in October 2019.
